Yes, congratulations to SocialThing! I love how this kind of activity draws the kind of attention that Boulder deserves as a thriving start up community. When waves like this come in, the whole ship rises.

Congratulations on the acquisition. I'm not that familiar with the history of SocialThing, but it looks like their service is still in private beta. I can think of a handful of startups that were acquired before a full public launch (and validation) of their product (Dodgeball/Google, Buzzword/Adobe).

I wonder if you can comment on the economics of a deal like this (how do you value a potential user base?), and the role of preexisting relationships in the valuation.
